Hyperkin, the maker of RetroN game consoles that support multiple
cartridges, has just announced its latest model, the RetroN 4.
Set to be unveiled at the Midwest Gaming Classic in Wisconsin
later this month, this system brings back the support of several
"classic" game systems in one convenient unit, but with a very
cool, modern touch: HDMI support for modern TVs.

HDMI is a big step up for the system maker, as its previous
system models only supported the outdated A/V video, composite
cables and S-Video hookups. With the RetroN 4, players would be
able to experience classic games for the Nintendo Entertainment
System, Super NES, Sega Genesis and Game Boy Advance on new HD
sets. [See also:

The system will also include two original controller ports, so
players can use their own vintage SNES, NES and Genesis
controllers, though the system also comes with a wireless
Bluetooth controller that supports all games. It also comes with
a "Perdana" digital interface, allowing players to change their
button formats, switch between consoles with ease, and more.

Though the system isn't supported by Sega or Nintendo (since both
companies discontinued the NES, SNES, Game Boy and Genesis
formats years ago), it's certainly bound to be a blast from the
past for those who don't feel like dragging their tube TV out of
the closet.

No pricing has been given for the unit, and pictures haven't been
revealed yet, but it's likely to have a similar multifunction
design as the company's RetroN 3 console.
